What are the responsibilities and job description for the Backend Engineer position at HockeyStack?
About HockeyStack
HockeyStack helps B2B companies drive more revenue.
We're revolutionizing how marketing and sales teams leverage data and uncover insights from it. Our cutting-edge data platform unifies and transforms data from CRMs, ad platforms, and websites in real-time, extracting actionable insights to drive revenue.
Every B2B company grapples with this challenge. If you've ever seen sales and marketing teams struggling to find effective strategies, you understand the problem we're solving. Join us in our mission to make good companies great.
We graduated from YC’s Summer 23 batch and we've roughly doubled our ARR every 6 months since then. If you join, you'll be part of a high-growth startup with proven product-market fit, methodically building a billion-dollar company through a high-performance culture and exceptional talent.
What we value
Builders.
Coding well is a rigorous craft. We are looking for people who enjoy coding just for the sake of it. That’s how you build really cool stuff.
Ownership.
Expect to own a crucial part of the product within your first two weeks. No jokes. We’ve seen that only the ones who can take this kind of a responsibility can thrive in this environment.
Shipping. Fast.
You don’t need to break things to move fast. But you do need a certain kind of mentality to know what shortcuts you can take and what tradeoffs you can make. How else can you grow fast if you aren’t deploying to prod every day?
Scalability.
Writing production-ready code is a very different thing when you have 1 customer versus over 100. You should take pride in thinking through every line of code you write and any edge cases it might introduce.
Fun Facts
Some of our SQL queries involve more than 500 lines of code.
We are munging and managing more than 60TB of data for our customers
We process high-throughput data from 30 data sources
About The Role
Who we’re looking for
You might call yourself a SQL expert, a database engineer, or just a strong backend engineer. You love going deep into optimizing slow things, thinking about different ways to store data and, most importantly, uncovering insights from TBs of data.
Your Mission: Transforming Data into Gold
You’ll primarily work in our Node.js backend and maintain how the app gets data from the database. This includes writing and optimizing SQL queries but also includes dealing with deep business logic about transforming this data in Javascript before sending it to the frontend.
This requires understanding both how data flows into our systems but also how and why people interact with the product itself.
Requirements
San Francisco, in person every day
Good backend knowledge (Node.js, Express)
Exposure to SQL beforehand
Move fast and reach milestones under uncertainty
Ready to work really hard on really hard problems
Bonus Points
High-growth SaaS experience, including scalability challenges
Familiarity with ClickHouse (our main analytical database)
Benefits
Some of the cool benefits we offer aside from the cool technical work you get to do alongside some smart engineers:
TOP salary meaningful equity
Beautiful office near South Park in SF
Catered daily meals (coming soon)
Unlimited Beer & diet coke (because who likes coke zero :d)
401K & Health,Dental and Vision insurance
